hey, gonna pick up a set of door handles. leaning towars the chromed metal ones http://www.f150store.com/Shop/ViewPr...&PlateTypeID=1 over the putco because the putco are plastic. any advice on this would be great guys. thanks

 

I have the Putcos and they are great. Held up very well so far, and there is no way they are coming off by themselves. I bought just the handles only, I felt the buckets and handles were a little too much chrome.

 

i ordered the putcos and are sending them back.. the set i got was pretty cheap looking.. they're rough around the edges and one of the handles was defective.. seemed like when they dipped the handle in the chrome, the liquid ran down the front of it and dried like that.. they didn't fit very well either.. they looked from a distance, but thats about it.. very disappointed in the quality..

 

Look into the OEM handles off of the Lincoln Mark LT. They are MUCH classier than any aftermarket setup. If you get just chrome handles like the guy above did, it won't look bad, but you can get the OEM ones that come with a painted bucket and are pre-assmebled.

 

If I were you, I would go with the stainless handles and buckets that you are looking at. I have the Pudco chrome kit on my truck and I thought that they were metal. I should have done my research. I like the look of the Pudco's but dont like plastic chrome. I like you, am not sure if they will hold up. The price is not much more for the stainless. If you go that way, let me know what you think, I might change mine out. Cheers, Blue

 

I bought the stainless steel ones they, and fit great. There not bulky like the plalstic ones are. They also match the crome bumpers.

B.Dog, Truck looks great. Where did you get yours? Let me know if you have any problems with them. I am having some trouble with the Pudco tail light covers sticking. A am about to take them off. Second one that won't stick. Dang APS rain guard coming up also. Should have went in-channel. "I always do it right the second time.....blab" Cheers, Blue

 

I am also interested in where you got yours. They look great!

Stainless steel handles would show more quality, I agree with what Lumadar said, look for Mark LT handles!

 

I bought them off ebay, and they match the crome on the bumpers great. They are not bulkly, and I've been told by many they do not look like they are overlays, but factory handles. You can search around ebay for a better price then I paid, there all from the same manufacture anyway.

Lumadar
You've peaked my interest,...where did you get the Mark LT handles, directly from the dealer? Do they come factory painted (I noticed that your truck looks like Oxford white which is the same as mine)? Approximate $$??
Awesome Lookin' Truck
